WAGON-BODY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 16, 1909.

Application filed June 1, 1903. Serial no. 436,122.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that we, WILLIAM GRAHAM and CHARLES S. BAKER, citizens of the United States, residing at Buffalo, county of Johnson, and State of Wyomin have invented certain new and usefu Im rovements in Wagon-Bodies, of which the ollowing 15 a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a wagon body, and particularly to a camping or sheep herders wagon.

' The invention has for an object to rovide a novel and improved construction 0 wagon body providing sleepin cooking and eating accommodations with t to maximum of comfort and convenience while utilizing the minimum of space.

Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter fully set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective of the wagon body'with the cover removed; F g.2 is a central vertical section thereof; Flg. 3 1s a rear elevation; Fig. 4 is a section on line 44, Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrow; Fig. 5 is a section on the same line looking in the opposite direction.

Like numerals refer to like parts in the several views of-the drawing.

The body 10 of the wagon is provided at its upper ortion with the extension 11 at each side rom which the usual supporting frame112 for the cover extends upward in an are or any other desired configuration. Upon this frame the cover of canvas or any suitable material may be applied and secured for protection. The front end 14 of the wagon is provided with a door comprising an upper ortion 15 and a lower portion 16 roperly 'nged thereon so that either or 0t may be opened as desired, for instance in driving the 11 per ortion of the door may be opened, an the ower closed, while for the purpose of access both are 0 ened, as shown in Fig. 1 The back 17 of t e wagon rovided with a sliding sash 18 and is suitab y covered with canvas 19 in the usual manner. The sash is mounted to travel in ways 20 forming part of the back frame, and the central 7 anel 21 thereof is pivotally mounted so at it can be opened without raising the sash.

At one end of the wagon-body andin the overlap portions .21 bed 22 is disposed trans ovided with e bed, and one or more thereof may e had by the door 26st the rear of the wagon, The overhanging portion 11 may be braced in any desired mannor, for instance by braces 27 exten ing pward from the body 10.

Beneath the bed, a. sliding table 28 is mounted in ways 29 so that it can be drawn outward, as shown in Fig. 4, for use when desired, and is su ported in that position by means of the folding leg 30 pivoted to the table at 31 and adapted to fold against the table when closed, as shown in Fig. 5, thus completely concealing and storing the table except when in use. At op osite sides of the body and extending latera ly the-reform beneath the overlapping portions are lockers 32 to which access may be had by a hinged door or cover of any preferred construction. The tops 33 of these lockers form seats at the opposite sides of the table when withdrawn an may be provided witha hinged portion 43 for access thereto. These seats may be extended for the length of the overlap 11. Mounted at the front of one overlap is a rovision chest 34 suitable for containing our or other material and at the opposite side of the body a cu board or cabinet 35 is secured to the cover rame of the wagon and closed by suitable doors 36. This cabinet maybe used for dishes and at the. upper port on thereof a drawer 37 adapter to receive knives or other objects is provided. Any desired cooking means may be provided in the wagon, for instance a stove 38 having the stack 39 thereof extended above the wagon cover and pro erly rotected as at 40 where passing theret roug This'stove is rigidly secured to the floor in an desired manner. Any means may be use for lighting the wagon, for instance, I bracket as shown at 41. Hooks 42 or other suspending devices may be a plied to the frame for so porting the coo ing utensils or otherartic es.

It will be seen, that this construction provides comfortable and convenient sleeping accommodations as the overlap above the a lamp mounted on the body ma be extended to secure the desired length 0 bed at one end thereof, while beneath this bed and in the lockers storage capacity for the desired articles is obtained. The mounting of the slidin table beneath the bed in connection with t e seats formed above the overlap at opposite sides of the body provide a convenient table for eating or other pu oses which can be completely removed an stored thus economizing space so as to adapt a wagon body of ordinary size for all of the comforts and conveniences for cam ing and herding purposes.

I ving described our invention and set forth its merits, what we' claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-

1. A wagon body having an inclosing frame, a bed extending laterally thereof at one end, a table slidingly mounted beneath said bed, and seats at op osite sides of said wagon parallel to said ta 1e.

2. A wagon body having an inclosing frame, a bed extending laterally thereof at one end, a table slidin ly mounted beneath said bed, seats at opposlte' sides of the wagon parallel to said table, and a folding leg carried by the free end of said table.

'3. A wagon bod having an inclosing frame, a bed exten ing laterally thereof at one end, a table slidingly mounted beneath sa1d bed, seats at o posite sides of the wagon parallel to said tab e, a folding legrcarried by the free end of said table, and rawers dis-' posedbeneath said bed at opposite sides of sa1d table.

4. A wagon bod having an inclosing frame, a bed exten ing laterally thereof at oneend, a table slidingly mounted beneath sa1d bed, seats at o posite sides of the wagon parallel to said tab e, a folding leg carried by the free endof said table, drawers dis osed beneath said bed at opposite sides 0 said seats and extended laterally-from the wagon table, and lockers disposed. beneath said body. 1

5. A wagon bod having an inclosing frame, a bed exten g laterally thereof at one end, atable slidingly mounted beneath frame as the seats said bed, seats at o posite sides of the wagon parallel to said tab e, a'folding leg carried by the free end of said table, drawers dis osed beneath said bed at opposite sides 0 said table, lockers dis osed beneath said seats and said overlap and supported thereby to provide storage compartments beneath said frame.

7'. A wagon body having an inclosing frame and provided at its up er portion with laterally extended overlaps orming seats at opposite sides thereof, a box frame extended laterally of the body at one end of said overlap and supported thereb and sliding drawers mounted beneath sa1d box frame.

8. A wagon body having an inclosing casing and provided at its upper portion with laterally extended overlaps forming seats at opposite sides thereof, a box frame extended laterally of the body at one end of said overlaps and sup orted thereby, and lockers extended latera ly from the body beneath said overlaps and at the same side of said box 9. A wagon body having an inclosing casing and provided at its upper portion with laterally extended overlaps forming seats at opposite sides thereof, a box frame extended laterally of the body at one end of said overlaps and supported thereby, and, a table shdably mounted beneath said box frame intermediate of said overlaps.

In testimony whereof we afiixour signatures in presence of two witnesses.
